I did and it worked fine. The commands (after specifying Woody in
/etc/apt/sources.list) are "apt-get update" and then "apt-get upgrade".
This will only upgrade the packages you currently have, along with any
new dependencies.

I believe the most actively developed would be HelixCode's site. I don't
remember the exact URL, but do have it at home. Someone else will likely
post it, but I did find this entry by searching the lists archives:
deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian unstable main
Good luck
